Shaun replied, “Good thing he doesn’t sign your paycheck.”
That was clear enough. “Okay. I guess I’ll head down to Tennessee and see Kollette.”
“Good. And while you’re there, I have some paperwork I’d like you to bring to Ethan. I want his feedback on the specification on the materials we’re going to be using at our new location in New York.”
“I’m surprised you’re not just using Lawson Steel,” Connor said.
“We’ve agreed not to,” Shaun said.
That was one odd answer. Lawson Steel was well known all over the world. Why wouldn’t they use them? Maybe that answer lies in Tabiq.
“I’ll head out in the morning, if that is okay with you?” Connor asked.
“It’s fine. It’ll also give you time to make sure Dr. Chinto makes it home safely as well,” Shaun replied.
He didn’t miss the hint of sarcasm. “Yes it will. I guess I’ll talk to you when I return from Tabiq,” he said.
“For some reason, I have a feeling I’ll hear from you long before that,” Shaun said.
“Why is that?” he asked.
“Just a gut feeling. I’ll have the paperwork brought to your office before the end of the day.”
“And I’ll be sure to hand deliver it to Ethan tomorrow.”
He ended the call and looked at the clock. He’d told Krista he’d be back home by six. The dinner reservations were for seven. He had plenty of time to finish everything here. There shouldn’t be any reason for interruptions tonight.
She’s the only distraction I want.
Krista couldn’t believe she squeezed in a shopping trip into everything else she had to do today. Connor must not have looked at her at all if he thought she could fit into his sister’s clothes. They were built totally different. First of all, Kollette was a few inches taller, and then Krista a few pounds heavier for sure. She couldn’t remember the last time she fit into a size small for a top. It was probably high school before her breasts decided they wanted to triple in size. Thankfully they stopped at size D, otherwise she’d probably topple over.
“I really can’t believe you’re here in Boston. I wish you could stay,” Patty said.
“You know I’m not the Boston type,” Krista said. “I like Montpelier.”
“So do I, but you can’t deny how much fun we just had shopping for clothes. Of course, it’d be more fun if I didn’t have this bump in the way,” Patty said rubbing her stomach.
“You can still shop, but for maternity clothes,” Krista stated. “I really wish you would’ve let me buy you a few outfits. You’re going to need them soon.”
“Are you saying that I’m getting fat already?”
Krista chuckled. “The correct term is showing. And with twins, you can expect to show early.”
“I plan on wearing Mikie’s sweatpants and I’m going to stretch out his t-shirts too. It’s going to drive him crazy,” she laughed.
“Unless Mikie has gained a lot of weight, I don’t think you’re going to fit in them for very long.” Even as she spoke, Mikie was walking towards them. “Look who finally caught up to us?”
“When you said you were going to stop at a store, I didn’t think you were going to buy the entire place,” he said.
Patty held up several bags. “Our babies are going to be the best dressed twins in town.”
Mikie said, “You really didn’t have to do that Dr. Chinto.”
“I know, but I wanted to.” She knew they didn’t even have a place of their own. They needed all the help they could get.
“Between this and what your boss gave you, the babies should have everything when they’re born,” Patty said.
“The Hendersons are helping?” Krista asked.
